Louisiana Ways and Means Members Ask Americans for Tax Reform to Clarify Governor's 'No Tax Pledge'

Eleven Republican members of the Louisiana House Ways and Means Committee have asked Grover Norquist of Americans for Tax Reform to clarify Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal's "no tax pledge" and the governor's support for SB 284, which the lawmakers say would allow future tax increases that are purportedly revenue neutral.
